Captain and Mate were very nice and accomodating to the kids who were a little sick but we didnt really catch anything. Only some 5 inch snapper.

Hi Jim! We appreciate the feedback, as we are always looking to make improvements with our customer’s experience. It is disappointing when no fish are caught. We can assure you that Captain Gabriels is an excellent, experienced captain. If the fish are there he will find them. We hope to see you again soon!

Didn’t catch anything as we trolled inshore. Boat was fine but the crew could have communicated more. Long four hours when you don’t catch anything. Bring your own drinks, snacks, and music if that will help your day.

Crew wouldn’t talk to us at all. Very rude. We quit and got back on shore 30 minutes early. We asked to troll back and they declined. We were told we could pay cash or paypal. At the end they said cash only until we talked to the owner again and worked it out. After catching a fish kept trying to get us to pay for a trophy mount of it. We declined over and over but they kept bringing it up the rest of the trip. Didn’t share any of their snacks but asked to drink our beer. Complained about... More

This doesn’t make sense. You caught a nice Rooster, we sent you the picture. You booked a 3 hour trolling which doesn’t include drinks or snacks. But we offered you water and snacks. I offered you the option to pay cash or PayPal. You offered my mate a beer. I’m don’t understand but thank you!🙏
